1. Select the lookup type to copy in the navigator tree.

2. Use the Copy and Paste options in the Edit menu to copy and paste the lookup type to the item type you want. You can also drag and drop the lookup type to the item type you want.

• If you copy a lookup type back to the same item type, or if you copy a lookup type to an item type in a different data store when the lookup type already exists in any item type in that data store, then the property page appears for you to enter a unique internal and display name for the new lookup type. When you are done, choose OK.

• If you copy a lookup type to an item type in a different data store, and that lookup type does not yet exist in any item type in that data store, then the new lookup type is copied with the same internal and display name as the original. You do not have to enter new names.

Note: Copying a lookup type also copies any lookup codes assigned to it.

Note: You cannot use the Copy and Paste options to copy a lookup type to another item type in the same data store. However, you can drag and drop a lookup type to another item type in the same data store; by doing so, you actually move the lookup type to the new item type.
